scholarly journals Data Hiding in Grayscale Image using Least Significant Bit Technique and Discrete Wavelet Transform

In this paper, we present a model for data hiding using modified least Significant Bit and DWT concept to further improve the ability to embed as a picture good (EC).From the begin, each high-quality pixel produces 4 new pixels. The puzzle facts is concealed in all the four conveyed pixels. via then the pixels are fixed to improve the concept of the stego-pics. There are four separate stego-pictures crafted from the four unmistakable revised pixels. each stego-photo disguises one piece for every pixel. For Stego-photos, the typical peak signal-to-noise ratios (PSNR) the proposed procedure successfully withstand against RS-stego examination

The research constitutes a distinctive technique of steganography of image. The procedure used for the study is Fractional Random Wavelet Transform (FRWT). The contrast between wavelet transform and the aforementioned FRWT is that it comprises of all the benefits and features of the wavelet transform but with additional highlights like randomness and partial fractional value put up into it. As a consequence of the fractional value and the randomness, the algorithm will give power and a rise in the surveillance layers for steganography. The stegano image will be acquired after administrating the algorithm which contains not only the coated image but also the concealed image. Despite the overlapping of two images, any diminution in the grade of the image is not perceived. Through this steganographic process, we endeavor for expansion in surveillance and magnitude as well. After running the algorithm, various variables like Mean Square Error (MSE) and Peak Signal to Noise ratio (PSNR) are deliberated. Through the intended algorithm, a rise in the power and imperceptibility is perceived and it can also support diverse modification such as scaling, translation and rotation with algorithms which previously prevailed. The irrefutable outcome demonstrated that the algorithm which is being suggested is indeed efficacious.

Compressed sensing (CS) has been applied to accelerate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for many years. Due to the lack of translation invariance of the wavelet basis, undersampled MRI reconstruction based on discrete wavelet transform may result in serious artifacts. In this paper, we propose a CS-based reconstruction scheme, which combines complex double-density dual-tree discrete wavelet transform (CDDDT-DWT) with fast iterative shrinkage/soft thresholding algorithm (FISTA) to efficiently reduce such visual artifacts. The CDDDT-DWT has the characteristics of shift invariance, high degree, and a good directional selectivity. In addition, FISTA has an excellent convergence rate, and the design of FISTA is simple. Compared with conventional CS-based reconstruction methods, the experimental results demonstrate that this novel approach achieves higher peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), larger signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), better structural similarity index (SSIM), and lower relative error.

Steganography is one of the techniques that enter into the field of information   security, it is the art of dissimulating data into digital files in an imperceptible way that does not arise the suspicion. In this paper, a steganographic method based on the Faber-Schauder discrete wavelet transform is proposed. The embedding of the secret data is performed in Least Significant Bit (LSB) of the integer part of the wavelet coefficients. The secret message is decomposed into pairs of bits, then each pair is transformed into another pair based on a permutation that allows to obtain the most matches possible between the message and the LSB of the coefficients. To assess the performance of the proposed method, experiments were carried out on a large set of images, and a comparison to prior works is accomplished. Results show a good level of imperceptibility and a good trade-off imperceptibility-capacity compared to literature.

The real-time rendering of high-quality, non-uniform scenes based on viewpoint has always been one of the most difficult problems in the CG area. In this paper, we propose one efficient algorithm to solve this problem with the help of merging texture synthesis and discrete wavelet transform (DWT) techniques. Using a single normal-sized image input, we can efficiently obtain texture sizes with different resolutions and update these in real-time rendering with the help of DWT. The results of our experiments prove that our algorithm can smoothly and efficiently render the non-uniform scenes based on viewpoint.

Purpose of the study: We propose an approach to hide data in an image with minimum Mean Squared Error (MSE) and maximum Signal-to-Noise ratio (SNR) using Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). Methodology: The methodology used by us considers the application of Discrete Wavelet transform to transform the values of the image into a different domain for embedding the information to be hidden in the image and then using Singular Value decomposition we decomposed the matrix values of the image for better data hiding. Main Findings: The application of the SVD function gave the model a better performance and also RED pixel values with the High-High frequency domain are a better cover for hiding data. Applications of this study: This article can be used for further research on applications of mathematical and frequency transformation functions on data hiding. It can also be used to implement a highly secure image steganography model. Novelty/Originality of this study: The application of Discrete Wavelet Transform has been used before but the application of SVD and hiding data in the H-H domain to obtain better results is original.

Image steganography is an art of hiding images secretly within another image. There are several ways of performing image steganography; one among them is the spatial approach.The most popular spatial domain approach of image steganography is the Least Significant Bit (LSB) method, which hides the secret image pixel information in the LSB of the cover image pixel information. In this paper a LSB based steganography approach is used to design hardware architecture for the Image steganography. The Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is used here to transform the cover image into higher and lower wavelet coefficients and use these coefficients in hiding the secret image. the design also includes encryption of secret image data, to provide a higher level of security to the secret image. The steganography system involving the stegno module and a decode module is designed here. The design was simulated, synthesized and implemented on Artix -7 FPGA. The operation hiding and retrieving images was successfully verified through simulations.

This paper aims to use a new approach for fusion images by using a wavelet coefficient based on PSNR and SNR measure (the technical result) instead of using the max, min, average values, and so on in the previous methods. The wavelet coefficient of each sub band is compared between them, the sub band had a value higher of measure is selected for fusion. Firstly, a discrete wavelet transform has been applied to the medical images with 2level. Then, the peak signal to noise ratio and signal to noise ratio measures have been computed for each sub-band. After that PSNR and SNR values have been compared for each sub-band to opposite sub-band and it selected the better value of measures. Secondly, PSNR and SNR values have been gathered for each image. Then select the image that contains value higher PSNR and lower value of SNR for purpose fusion. Finally, perform an inverse discrete wavelet on the fused image to transform it from the frequency to the spatial domain. The results of the work showed that the wavelet coefficient is used to preserve the image details and removed the noise. PSNR value of 1level of dwt is higher than 2level. This paper makes the image more clearer and informative than the original images. </span></span>
